FPS 3D heeft een review gepost van de Trident Blade 3D. Nu staat Trident al sinds z'n bestaan bekend om de uiterst trieste performance van hun videokaarten, en de Blade 3D doet het niet anders. Wat dacht je van 6 frames per sec in Quake II op 1024? Woeha!
De beeldkwaliteit schijnt om een of andere vreemde reden wél goed te zijn:
Obviously the first game I popped in for visual testing was Direct 3D Half Life. The deep reds, blacks, golds, and blues were the very first thing my eyes latched onto. With Half Life's 24-bit color support, it really showed off the Blade 3D's True-Color Rendering ability, rivaling or beating the nVidia Riva TNT. Although there was a minor rendering defect when you whipped around fast in which polygons were dropped from the screen for about 100 milliseconds, this is easily something Trident could fix before their impending release.
